Abstract

There are four main groups of clinical manifestations in salmonellosis, gastroenteritis。 enteric fever, localized infection, and chronic carrier state, that may occur individually, simultaneously or consecutively in the course of an infection. The authors experienced a case of salmonella gastroenteritis complicated with empyema of gall bladder in a 12-year-old male patient. The clinical diagnosis was confirmed on the operating table and the：bacteriologic diagnosis was made from the material taken in situ and stool. We reviewed the literatures briefly.
